Revise nuisance compliance laws

Added a minimum complaint threshold requiring three property owner complaints within 0.25 miles before county officers can inspect properties for community decay.

Created an exception to the complaint threshold for conditions deemed as immediate health violations affecting the surrounding community.

Set the effective date of the new provisions to January 1, 2026.

Corrected formatting inconsistencies and section numbering in the Montana Code Annotated references.

Removed a space between '(c)' and '(B)' in subsection 17, resulting in the text '(c)(B)' instead of '(c) (B)'. This is a stylistic correction with no impact on the law's substance.

Redundant and inconsistent conditional phrasing (e.g., 'IF') was removed from the community decay complaint section to improve clarity and consistency.

Clarified that nothing in the new section prevents local governments from enacting community decay controls that apply only to specific portions of the county.
